"Consolidated B-24H Liberator: Bigger, Faster, Longer Ranged than the Boeing B-17 - A Symbol of American Aviation Excellence in World War II The Consolidated B-24H Liberator, a powerful and iconic American bomber aircraft, is depicted in this evocative photograph. Produced by Consolidated Aircraft Corporation, the Liberator was a significant advancement from its predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress, in terms of size, speed, and range. With a wingspan of 110 feet and a length of 65 feet, the B-24H Liberator was the largest American bomber of World War II. Its advanced engines enabled it to reach speeds of up to 287 miles per hour, making it faster than the B-17. Moreover, the Liberator's longer range of 2,000 miles allowed it to fly deeper into enemy territory, expanding the reach of the US Army Air Force. The Liberator served valiantly in all theaters of operation during World War II. Its versatility made it an essential asset in various roles, including bombing, mine-laying, and photo reconnaissance. The aircraft's distinctive silhouette became a familiar sight over Europe, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, and the China-Burma-India theater. This photograph captures the B-24H Liberator in its element, embodying the spirit of American innovation and determination during the Second World War. The aircraft's impressive size, speed, and range were crucial factors in the eventual Allied victory, making it an indelible part of aviation history." Rights Managed by Mary Evans Prints Online.
